When literally every single number shows things got A LOT better with Obama, got worse under Trump the first run with some numbers maintaining pace, Biden gets in and the unemployment drops the lowest ever, bills being signed and things being built for our production of chips, yo yellow arse mans cut all that.
Facts beN nothing to right wingers do it's useless talking to you. You already know Trump is a piece of garbage and destroying everything, but you need a man to hold on to. Y'all are pussy. All of y'all.
It's wild that a bunch of men that have literally dedicated their lives to serving a billionaire who would t puss on you.
The dumbest people on this earth and it's not a close 2nd.
I don't praise Dems. You read left wind media most people reject the Dems we get. You are gonna suck off a Republican as long as he has pink arse skin.
FOH

A/K/A - a Confuseopoly
Confuseopoly - is a market state in which companies maintain high prices and strong profit margins not by blocking competition, but by intentionally making products, pricing, and service terms so overly complex that consumers cannot make rational, apples-to-apples comparisons.

Bs Obama signed Obamacare…..the most worthless piece of trash legislation in history.
And I do enjoy his work dropping untraceable pallets of cash in IRAN. So the ragheads could kill US servicemen.
Your distorted views of history cloud your lack of judgement….

This is all because of greedy companies. While you don’t have to like it, the best counter move is to invest in the greedy companies. This is what separates from the investing class from the middle class.

Agreed, but I just don't see this happening. I don't know exactly how this has been accomplished, but we are all conditioned against organizing and standing up for ourselves.
I mean, we have been indoctrinated to hate unions and value at will employment.

This is why we’re being replaced with Indians

I get irrationally agree about this topic. Why can I not look at my mortgage balance online without being solicited. Why do things "accidentally" renew after I opt out. Why do companies that already get my money feel like they need all of it?
Rant over.

Unfortunately even the most low end/low cost vehicles are captured by the over-engineered BS. I need to look for a couple of decent vehicles that were made prior to the mid 1990's.
The vehicles now are engineered to meet regulatory standards and reduce assembly complexity.
NOT to be easy or affordable to own or insure.

“Yes,” they said, “but there’s a $15 early check-in fee.”
That small moment says more about the modern economy than a stack of white papers.
Yeah, it says people no longer know the difference between a want and a need.

This is what hyper capitalism without consumer protections has lead us to

I know one big reason why stuff was cheaper at stores 60 years ago. They saved a lot of money on security. Our neighborhood grocery store had 1 employee at the check out and 1 at the butcher counter. If more people came then the butcher moved to checkout No. 2. Nothing was locked. No security cameras. No adding to prices to make up for shoplifting because it never happened.
